The event saw over 160 young footballers, aged 6 to 10, participating in an exciting 16-team competition. The tournament featured eight Under-8 teams and eight Under-10 teams, competing in a round-robin format within their respective categories.

The talent on display today was exceptional, and we were thrilled to provide an opportunity for young footballers from East Coast Demerara, West Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, and Georgetown to showcase their skills,” Mills said during the closing ceremony.
He also extended his gratitude to the dedicated coaches, volunteers, and parents who played a vital role in supporting the young athletes. Additionally, he acknowledged KFC Guyana for their steadfast commitment to youth and football development.
